During Friday's lesson, my group, Leanne, Alicia and Taneshia, had to shoot our Preliminary Exercise. Our Prelim was based on the scene from Titanic where Rose is telling Jack not to let go. Taneshia played the role of Jack and I played the role of Rose while Alicia and Leanne filmed.
Our Preliminary Exercise had to involve someone walking through the door, someone sitting down on a chair and both students exchanging a few lines. We used the 180 degree rule, aswell as close-ups.
The experience I had infront of the camera was really fun and I really enjoyed it, however I have learn't that I am a terrible actress and I will not be recieving any Oscar awards any time soon!
As you can see from the pictures I have attached to this blog, myself and Taneshia worked very hard to get the scene spot on as well as showing emotion.
My group hoped to achieve good camera shots of the scene and to get every action spot on. I found it very difficult not to look at the camera and not to laugh during the filming!
I think our Prelim could be improved by myself not sitting infront of the projector while it was on, causing half of my face to light up with different shapes projected on to my skin and to also have a few more different camera shots and angles just to make it more interesting.
I have enjoyed the Preliminary Exercise and I think my group did very well, we have now began editing our exercise on the Apple Mac's and our final film shall be uploaded on to my blog soon!
